EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Rangers rookie forward Matt Rempe made history on Sunday, becoming the first NHL player to make his debut in a regular-season outdoor game.
On his first NHL shift at MetLife Stadium, Rempe tried to make an impression on the New York Islanders too, with a fight against winger Matt Martin.
Rempe was called up from the AHL Hartford Wolf Pack after the Rangers lost veteran winger Blake Wheeler to a leg injury on Thursday night. Wheeler will miss the rest of the regular season at a minimum.
